My husband and I walked in for dessert after having dinner elsewhere. It was my birthday, and I wanted a nice treat with candles and the staff singing to me. We were seated at the bar. My husband told Charlie, the bartender, that it was my birthday. He handed us the dessert menu and we ordered. To my surprise, he then brought out my delicious panna cotta with a candle in it, followed by staff trailing behind him to wish me a "Happy Birthday!" It was a lovely cap to a wonderful birthday, and the staff at Osteria played a major part in it. Charlie also treated me to a small sample of their house limoncello, which was delish! We will definitely go back there for dinner next time. read more

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and it was wonderful. The ambience is really nice, and food was so good. We got the veal carpaccio for an appetizer. For main meals we got the lasagna and orichette pasta. My only con was service was a little slow. For example, It took a a while for the waiter to take our drink order and at one point I had to refill our own wine glasses. Our coffees/dessert drinks ended up coming out after we had finished our dessert. All in all it was a good experience though and we would return. read more

Had a very enjoyable anniversary meal. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. It was our first time here and would definitely return. We got the arancini appetizer as well as the octopus appetizer which was so good! We also enjoyed 2 of their pastas and limoncello at the end of the meal. read more

For my daughters gratuation in her Master's program at John Hopkins, we let her pick the restaurant and she chose here. There was 4 of us, we were seated immediately and the drinks and bread came to the table quickly. This is "relaxed" dining, everything is done at a slow pace. The entire meal was over 1.5 hours. It's pricey, but the food is excellent. Every item off the menu was top notch, and we ordered $400 worth of food. It instantly became our favorite restaurant in Annapolis, and we've been to most of them. It's billed as an Italian restaurant, but there's plenty on the menu if you want to go in a different direction. Our main meals were Beef, Seafood and Pasta and everyone raved. Parking is a bitch, so leave yourself extra time to find a spot too. I did not consider the portions to be large, but everything served was perfectly cooked and tasted excellent. We left filled and happy. Make sure you order the Lobster Bisque, it turned out to be everyone's favorite part of the meal. We can't wait to go back again. read more

This is our favourite restaurant for special occasions. The food is great, the staff is great and the Ambience is perfect. read more

Osteria 177 - Branzino al Forno - Italian Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

We went to Osteria 177 several months ago but I wanted to get the review out anyway. I never really noticed this place on Main Street just north of the Chick-n-Ruth's deli and parking garage. It is very conveniently located because of the garage and side street. It is not a crowded part of Main street because it is on that corner. We went the Friday after Valentines so it was still fairly crowded. It was such a wonderful experience I remember everything about it. The seats are very comfortable and the service was what you would expect for the prices. The waiter was very professional and not rushed. We got a nice table in the front corner, but not all the way in the front, it was too cold there! I ordered the sea bass which was on special and it was amazing. The cosmopolitans were very good as well as the wine list. This is a classy place where you can wear a jacket if you want to, but it is Annapolis so I'm sure people come in with shorts on in the summer. They have a set menu on special occasions like Valentines Day (so I am told) to make things run more efficiently. We already have reservations for this Valentines Day so that should be enough of an endorsement from me. read more

This is my first review. I have been using Yelp when I travel for years. We stopped in Annapolis for the evening and came to Osteria 177 for dinner. Dimitri was our server and was the best server we have had anywhere. Knowledgeable and helpful, he made the evening special. The food and wine was terrific...but as we all know service makes the experience. read more

My husband and I had the most incredible date night at Osteria 177. Dimitri was our waiter and happens to be an incredible Sommelier. He asked our preferred wine notes and found the most delicious Super Tuscan that we enjoyed so much, we ordered two bottles online that night. He explained the story behind the wine/champagne we were drinking, which added a fun, awesome touch to our night out. The food was some of the best Italian food we've ever had -- we shared the fresh made burrata with prosciutto to start, my husband had the pasta with shaved truffles and I had the orecchiette, we finished with their house made tiramisu. Every single dish we had was unbelievable. We agreed that we would have gone back for a second night if we had more time. We will definitely make the special trip to Annapolis JUST for Osteria 177 & Dimitri! read more

Fabulous atmosphere & staff was so accomodating & attentive. We made reservations for lunch & we're seated immediately. I had the tortellini that was so delicious with a rich & savory cream sauce. I was so pleased that the sauce was not so thick & overpowering the rest of the ingredients but just perfect! read more

We had dinner earlier this month to celebrate my wife's birthday. Service was outstanding and we got to order two entree's that were not on the menu. The scallops and veal was exceptional, as always! Our server was also outstanding too. read more

Jaw dropped. Primarily, it must be noted the service was absolutely lovely. Our server was extremely gregarious and knew how to adhere to our vibe. The rigatoni alla norcina was to die for. Went back twice before leaving the east coast and would passionately recommend this gem to anyone in Annapolis. Wonderful ambience and high quality ingredients with appropriate sized portions read more

Overpriced for food with hair in it. Other than that the food was ok but not great. Was very disappointed with this place.

Exceeded expectations! Chris was our server and he completely elevated the entire experience. He knew the menu by heart and made helpful recommendations. read more

I would just like to know. If you are dining at the bar, and you are ordering drinks, food and $85 bottles of wine. If you have manners and say THANK YOU to the bartender when he fills your water glass, refills your $85 wine, but he never says your welcome, ever? Or even acknowledges you speaking to him? Is that on me? Or is this an ill mannered bartender? It was such a weird experience. 3 diners, appetizers, entrees etc. Very expensive tab. Don't need it again. Maybe Jake should take a class in manners? When a customer is paying YOU and she thanks you - how about you respond with "your welcome"? Or at least a grunt? Local, don't need this, won't be back. Thank you!' read more

I'll be dreaming about the Sacchetti di pasta ai porcino dish I enjoyed here till my next trip to Annapolis and Osteria 177. This was our first visit to this town/restaurant and I was tossed up due to many delicious menu options. So glad my server and the gentleman at the table next to us recommended it. Service was warm and inviting and everything we ordered was fresh and prepared perfectly. We ended our meal with a shot of limoncello, full bellies, and smiles on our faces. read more

Some time back my wife and I spent a long weekend in Annapolis for our wedding anniversary. We ate good everywhere we went in the city but what surprised me most was that our favorite meal (for both of us) was Italian food, here at Osteria 177. With all the great crab cakes and seafood, etc., I was surprised to find high-quality Italian--per the recommendation of our B&B host--in Annapolis ("and not that New Jersey heavy cream junk" according to the above-mentioned referee). Everything was delicious, especially the pear-stuffed tortellini I had for an entree. Great drinks, appetizers & desserts. Friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. Perfect atmosphere and location for an intimate romantic dinner. It is pricey and the portions are not overflowing---very sensible somewhat small servings for a decent chunk of change but you'll leave full and what you're full of is great fresh quality to boot. read more

Delicious food. The Burrata Fresca con Verdure alla Griglia appetizer is delicious. The Paccheri Mediterranei allo Zafferano with its saffron cream sauce is just amazing. This is the place to go in Annapolis for excellent Italian food. read more

Our first visit, celebrating birthdays . It's a bit expensive, but honestly I always appreciate paying for fabulous food. The service was gold star. We all shared our items which was fun. The tuna I had was absolutely delicious. The menu perfectly described the dish. We had a bottle of wine and I had probably the best martini, ice cold served with a blue cheese olive. They offered desert for the birthday guest. I can't wait to go back with just my husband & I. We had a party of 8. Well worth the money. Great job by the chief's and the wait staff. read more

This is a birthday meal with exceptional food, excelllent service, and an unhurried evening. We had the salmon carpaccio, a well prepared variation. I had osso bucco, a favorite, and the preparation was superb. My spouse feasted on a beatufully presented bronzini filet. Everything was at a peak of quality. We also chose a really nice ripasso that worked well with both our dishes (the fish had a rich sauce). For dessert we had zabaglione over some fresh fruit and some fresh coffee. The atmospere in this place is very appealing. It is an odd contrast to the exterior that faces West street, and from outeard appearance, the interior is unexpected. Eat well, tip well. read more

Osteria has an extensive, authentic Italian menu that features its prime Annapolis location. It is possibly the best restaurant for a nice dinner on Main Street. It can, however, have true Italian slow service. It is not a place to go if you are on a rush. The last time we were there, it took significantly long to get to our appetizer and there was a noticable wait for the entrees. Our server was not the most friendly when we pointed to the wait (I am talking about 45 minutes). But the food and the ambiance are truly nice. So far, we have tested their seafood pasta and charcuterie platters. The wine selection is also very good. There is an extensive specials section that comes with the menu, but it is not clear if those rotate frequently. If you are looking for a nice Italian restaurant in Annapolis, you should definitely try Osteria 177. P.S. They do not validate parking and you have to pay in the garage even on Sundays. read more

Great service and food - very comfortable setting. Only turn off was when I got snobby bartender.
